In dreams we tend to be more conscious of spiritual discipline.

To dream of cross roads, denotes you will be unable to hold some former favorable opportunity for reaching your desires.

If you are undecided which one to take, you are likely to let unimportant matters irritate you in a distressing manner. You will be better favored by fortune if you decide on your route. It may be after this dream you will have some important matter of business or love to decide.

Symbol: The cross ii> a symbol of the integration of extremes, the synthesis, and the moderation—the cross is the connection between time and space.

Vision: A cross is a sign of sorrow and misery to come. Praying in front of a cross: in a hopeless situation, unexpected help is on the way.

A cross on die side of the road: a warning about hard times ahead, but if you rely on your own strength, you can do what is necessary to get through. Seeing Christ on the cross: good fortune. Standing at a crossroads: a long-overdue decision can’t be postponed any longer.

Depth Psychology: The cross represents many things: it gives directions (since the cross always points at one of the four points of the compass, but it also stands for great sorrow as well as renewal. It is also a sign of “begging,** of kneeling in front of someone.

A crossroads indicates indecision, fear of taking the “wrong path.” It also could mean that this is a time to make changes.

The direction you are moving in the dream is important. Is it East, North, South, West?

1- Dreaming of cross-roads indicates that we are going to have to make choices in our lives, often to do with career or life changes. We perhaps need to be aware of where we have conic from in order to make intelligent decisions. Often, to turn left at crossroads can indicate taking the wrong route, though it can indicate the more intuitive path.

To turn right can obviously mean taking the correct path, but can also mean making logical decisions.

2- We are in a situation where two opposing forces are coming together, not in conflict but in harmony.

3- A magical but dangerous space, since we can go in any direction which seems appropriate.

To dream that you are at a crossroad indicates that you have an important and perhaps difficult choice to make. Whichever path you take will lead you into a significant direction. Be careful and thoroughly assess each option before you come to a conclusion.

If you dream of being at a crossroads, then you are at choice, and that it is the time for you to connect with your inner guidance to make a decision that will impact the rest of your life. This dream may be getting you to realize the consequences of your actions and choices.

Psychological / emotional perspective: We are in a situation where two opposing forces are coming together, not in conflict but in harmony. Many magical spells are dissipated at crossroads when they are thrown to the four winds. This image in dreams is therefore very powerful.

Material aspects: Dreaming of crossroads indicates that we are going to have to make choices in our lives, often to do with career or life changes. We perhaps need to be aware of where we have come from in order to make intelligent decisions. Often, to turn left at crossroads can indicate taking the wrong route, though it can indicate the more intuitive path.

To turn right can obviously mean taking the correct path, but can also mean making logical decisions.

Highways carry you toward, or away from, someone or something. Other parts of the dream are important to meaning here, such as billboards, buildings, and people or vehicles that are traveling on the same highway.

Being lost on the highway: Needing to make a decision, but not having a clear picture of what all the options offer. Alternatively, feeling as if you have lost your faith or spiritual focus.

Stranded on a highway: A type of desertion dream. Also, a need within to reach out and ask for aid, otherwise the vehicle of your life may remain stalled.

Hitchhiking down: Wanderlust; the desire to release all responsibilities and experience some adventure. Alternatively, riding on someone else’s talents, abilities, or finances, instead of being independent.

Fork in the road: A determination that must be made fairly quickly or the opportunity may be lost. Two vehicles taking separate parts of this fork represent individuals or situations moving away from one another.

To see a madstone applied to a wound from the fangs of some mad animal, denotes that you will endeavor, to the limits of your energy, to shield self from the machinations of enemies, which will soon envelop you with the pall of dishonorable defeat.

The crossroads is a place where one must decide which way to go. It points out to the dreamer which road should be taken in life. See Cross, Fork (as in fork in the road), Division, Ouroboros (as a counterimage).

Dreams about the want ads reveal that you are unfulfilled in your current work, relationship or life situation, and that you are willing to expand your horizons and explore other opportunities. Your dream may be helping you to realize the plethora of options available to you. Alternatively, this dream may be revealing your insatiability, and that you have the “grass is greener” syndrome, in which case, you are realizing that you can run but you can’t hide from yourself. See Craig’s List and Job.

If you dream of someone in a wanted poster, consider that they represent something or someone in whom you are being seduced. Perhaps the love you feel for the person with whom you want to be in relationship is criminal, or maybe you are venting out and exposing your guilty feelings about them

Wanting is a primal drive which, through social­isation, we may crush and thereby lose contact with what we want from our own feelings and needs. In doing so we may also lose much of our decisiveness and creativity.

Example: ‘1 still want him all to myself. We never touch or kiss or anything in the dreams, and I want him to, but would never let on I wanted this. I am a bit coy in my dreams’ (Pauline B). Pauline is dreaming about a past lover whom she has tried to forget, but when we pick out the wants’ we see how strong her feelings are. Looking at dreams in this way helps us define what our desires are.

Example: The older man still wanted something from me. I didn’t want to be involved with him at all and yet had to be polite, etc., so he wouldn’t hit out at me/us. We needed some kind of contact with this man, I lent forward and kissed him on his face and drew back quickly as I didn’t want to give any more than that, I had a fear that he would want more’ (Sandra O). Sandra had divorced an older husband, and was living with a younger man.

The complication of her wants’ is shown in the dream. When it is a ‘don’t want’ in the dream, it is helpful to change it to a positive. ‘I didn’t want to go with my mother’ could become ‘I wanted to do my own thing.’

Because what we want is complex and often in conflict, our dream characters may want something which we oppose, as in the following example. Example: To escape from a man chasing me, I decided I must get a taxi home. Got in one driven by a woman who wanted to take me to the man who was chasing me. Woke up sweating’ (Ann G).

The urge to integrate the male pan of herself, seen as the taxi driver, is in conflict with Ann’s fear of it.
